³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Thanks for all your tweets and comments about the show last night! We read them as it is going out and we'll try and reply to as many as we can.

As it's friday we thought we would give you some more exclusive content to get you ready for the weekend. This is behind the scenes on the burning teddy sketch. Enjoy!

Show two goes out in a matter of hours so we thought we'd show you a little more of what happens behind the scenes at the studio. Let us know what you think!

If you have any questions you would like us to ask Russell write a comment and we'll do our best to film the responses and post them up here. Enjoy the show later! **TOTAL PLUG** Remember 10:30 on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Three!

Thanks for all the stuff you have been sending us for the show. Remember if you send something in and it gets used you might even get a mention at the end of the show as with last week - watch their moment of glory on

For this week we asked you on Twitter to send in photos of 'DEATH BY BISCUITS' which in case you need any clarification is a crime scene pic of you/friend, being killed by a biscuit or having been killed by biscuit (we wouldn't want to make it too easy for you all!). As with the first show we've been loving your work! Some of you have way too many biscuits at home!

In an Art Attack style we have included some of our favourites in our Good News gallery:

We are going to be asking for your help throughout the series so please keep up the good work! Remember to watch Thursday 10:30, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Three to see if any of these made it to the final show.

Hope you all enjoyed the show last night! Thanks to @gregmatt @wr0b @andrew_baran for sending in photos of the funny place names, and also to everybody else who went out and took pics.

We're going to be asking you to send stuff in throughout the series. So if you see something funny in the news you think would work on the show let us know. It could be something you spot a newsreader doing, or something somebody is doing in the background of a news story. It could be a funny headline, or picture from a newspaper. We even want to see any viral videos that have made you chuckle! Either comment on the blog with a link to what you think should be on the show or message us on Twitter () with #goodnews. We want YOU to be a part of the show.

We can't promise to look at all your suggestions but we will do our best because we love hearing from you all so send in! Big big thanks for everything so far

Good News starts tonight so we thought we would show you a little bit of what happens behind the scenes at the studio. Enjoy!

Remember 10:30, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Three, Tonight!

Last night we recorded our first show which **warning major show plug** will be on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Three at 10:30 TOMORROW NIGHT! Russell and the team were all really pleased with how it went. We'll post our behind the scenes video as soon as we can but for the mo here are some shots from the show.

Russell being attacked by giant sperm and looking surprisingly happy about it!

Russell on set with Morph, you'll have to watch the show to see how that fits in!

You may have seen the trailer for the show on TV but for those who haven't I've posted it here. What do you think?

Russell also filmed a video which you can get sent to your mobile, but you are here now so why keep it from you? See below...

Only a day to go until the first show now so REMEMBER Thursday night, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Three, 10:30. Be there!

It's been a busy week for the Russell Howards Good News team. We recorded our first run-through of the show in the studio with a live audience where Russell got a chance to try out all the gags and sketches he and the team have been working on. The show went really well and everybody is buzzing, we're now getting everything ready for next week's first show! *Cough* ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Three 10:30 Thursday night *Cough*.

The show was just a run through so it's not going to be on TV, but we did take some photos of our set (we can project loads of backgrounds on it). I'll post more from the show next week so keep your eyes out for that. We've noticed that a lot of our twitter/blog readers were there - glad you enjoyed the show!

This week we also got to see our opening titles which we're really excited about. We are making some final tweaks but basically it was done using stop motion animation -taking loads of photos of Russell and animating them - you'll have to wait to see the final product but we'll try to arrange a sneak preview online if we can.

Thanks for the stories you have been posting on Twitter and on the blog, remember, if you find something you think should be on the show let us know. We're busy looking through everything you send in and if anything catches Russell's eye, he may well get it in the show.

It's the first day of preparations for Russell Howard's Good News and everyone is very busy getting the show together. We managed to grab a few minutes with Russell so he could explain about the show and how you can get involved.

Hello,

Welcome to the blog for Russell Howard's Good News, a brand new topical comedy show for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Three with Russell Howard (who most of you will know from Mock The Week).

Each week we are going to be looking at the big news stories from the past seven days mixed up with all the bits and pieces that Russell finds funny.

We will be writing this blog throughout the series so you can hear what's going on behind the scenes and we are also going to be posting a ton of exclusive content so keep checking back.

The main thing is that we want you to get involved so come back soon to check how you can be part of the show, in the meantime you can follow us on Twitter at

See you soon...
